Ratios
Electric wheels don’t use fixed ratios—instead, they have a variable speed knob that lets you adjust the speed to match your spinning style and fiber.
The Firefly is currently the fastest electric spinning wheel available, reaching up to 3200 RPM with the 4A flyer when plugged into a wall (battery power offers slightly lower top speeds).

About the Firefly
Meet the SpinOlution Firefly, a portable electric spinning wheel that blends modern tech with traditional fiber art. With a rechargeable battery that lasts over 14 hours, you can spin cord-free just about anywhere—no outlet needed. It’s lightweight, easy to carry to classes or festivals, and super beginner-friendly, while still offering the performance experienced spinners love. The quiet motor and adjustable tension system let you fine-tune your experience so you can focus entirely on your craft.
Built from durable Baltic birch, the Firefly is made to last and grow with you. You can choose from five flyer sizes, including some of the largest and fastest in the world—making it one of the most versatile electric wheels on the market. Flyers are even interchangeable with SpinOlution’s Echo and Monarch models, so you can move seamlessly from studio spinning to on-the-go projects. Whether you’re making fine yarns or chunky art fibers, the Firefly gives you the freedom to spin wherever inspiration strikes.

SpinOlution wheels are made from high-quality Baltic birch plywood. Please note that occasional knots or patches may appear in the wood—these are natural characteristics from the wood manufacturer and are not within SpinOlution’s control. While we do our best to select the finest materials, these cosmetic variations are a normal part of working with real wood and do not affect the performance or durability of the wheel.
The product can differ slightly from shown photos, since we try to improve our products continuously.
